I wasn't able to make import/export work without Enterprise Manager. If you log on to DBAStudio directly, it complains about not having a connection to Enterprise Manager.

I do know that there are imp/exp command line utilities. But (in my personal opinion) if I pay thousands of dollars for a product, I want it to have a GUI. I don't have the time to learn command line interfaces. The last time I accepted a command line was in the DOS 6 timeframe. Nowadays an application has to offer a graphical user interface. There may of course be a command line interface, and sometimes it is very usefull, but it should not be the one and only way for interacting with the application.
